Jennifer Lawrence: 'I'd regret rejecting Games'

Jennifer Lawrence has revealed that she was anxious about being offered the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games.

The Oscar-nominated actress landed the coveted role in mid-March. She spoke to Entertainment Weekly about her feelings after being offered the part, stating that she was nervous to accept the role.

"I knew that as soon as I said yes, my life would change," Lawrence said. "And I walked around an entire day thinking, 'It's not too late, I could still go back and do indies, I haven't said yes yet, it's not too late'."

The 20-year-old actress went on to reveal that she would never have forgiven herself if she had turned down the offer.

"I love this story," Lawrence said. "And if I had said no, I would regret it every day."

The Hunger Games is based on a novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins. It tells the story of a futuristic dystopia in which children fight to the death in a televised event known as the Hunger Games.
